Plans

Plans are core building blocks in Spark Management that enable you to enforce a unified policy management across multiple Gateways.

A Plan manages the following settings:

• General - General Plan information and alternative activation options. See Editing a Plan for more information.

• License - Enable Pay As You Go (PAYG) billing or revert to annual subscription per request. See Managing Licenses.

• Zero Touch - When you connect a new Gateway or reset an existing Gateway to factory defaults, the Gateway automatically connects to Spark Management and retrieves the configuration from there. See Using Zero Touch for Spark Management.

• Device Settings - Adjust essential Operating System settings and operational parameters such as scheduled reboot and probing settings. See Editing a Plan for more information.

• Software Blades - Control the activation and configuration of various Software Blades. See Editing a Plan for more information.

• Services - Set up cloud-based services facilitating centralized operations. See Editing a Plan for more information.

• VPN - Assign VPN Communities to the Plan.

• Setup - Define allowed hosts for local Administrator access. See Editing a Plan for more information.

• CLI Scripts - Execute Clish commands on connected Appliances. See Editing a Plan for more information.

You can manage plans by adding, editing, cloning, or deleting them as needed. See Editing a Plan for more information.
